MWA invites public to craft water project proposals

APPLE VALLEY • Mojave Water Agency is hosting a interactive workshop on Wednesday to craft water project and program proposals.

The agency invites community members and local agency representatives to participate in the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan workshop 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Mojave Water Agency, 13846 Conference Center Drive in Apple Valley.

Participants will be able to integrate proposals with similar projects and collaborate with neighboring communities during the meeting.

Projects submissions are due August 1 for the Mojave Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, which sets a vision for the next decade of water management in the High Desert.

Over the last 10 years, $170 million in local, state, and federal dollars have been invested in local water infrastructure and water supplies, according to the agency.

Programs included the construction of pipelines and groundwater recharge sites, investment in new water supplies, development of an aggressive water conservation program, and removal of invasive species in the Mojave River.
